At full chooch 40 watts, on lowest setting 1 watt. This is measured with a Killawatt meter. However, the lowest setting is almost pointless, it's more like a "look how slow we can go with PWM!" setting. Set to the lowest usable setting it pulled 4 watts from the wall. For comparison my old Model 180 Compact is also a 7" fan and pulls 87 watts on high and 27 on low, although low on the Model 180 is substantially more airflow than the 530. For my scenario where I use the fan for sleeping it would take roughly 8 years for the 530 to 'pay for itself in electricity savings' verses keeping the 180, and the 180 is a MUCH better fan.

If the power goes out will the fan come back on by itself when the power is restored? (I want to use it with a smart outlet)

I just got the 633DC version of this fan. As long as the dial is not set to 'Off', the fan starts spinning again after I plug it back in. I, too, plan to use it with a smart outlet.

does the 683 dc medium have a power brick

I called Vornado about the 633DC yesterday, to determine if it had a power brick (the rep said it did NOT...the power supply is inside the wider base of the 133DC, the 533DC and the 633DC fans, all of which are similar in design, just differ in size). I own four of the 533DCs, so this makes sense (& they don't have the power brick). However, the 683DC is a pedestal model; it's on a stand. It DOES have a power brick. You can see this in photos of reviews on this model. I think it's confusing that 4 Vornado fans are listed/sold together on one page here without definitive info on which ones have external power bricks & which don't.

Has anyone used this for camping with a battery unit? I'm wondering how many mAh this uses per night?

This would use 2280 mAh in a 12 hour period
